Shield Argent parted by a bend wavy Gules, on heart point superimposed by a 6-spokes wheel Argent, in sinister chief an oak twig Vert with two leaves and one acorn, in dexter base three crosses Sable in bend.
Meaning:
The bend wavy is canting and representing the name giving creek (German: Bach). The twig is symbolising the location in the Spessart, a forest. The crosses are wayside crosses alongside the Bessenbacher Weg. They are a local monument but their meaning is unknown. The wheel is representing the Archbishopric of Mainz, to which the area historically belonged.
